One of the long-standing mysteries from Colter’s past has been resolved, but there’s still much more to explore.

In the episode on Sunday night titled “Echo Ridge,” Colter came back home to probe into the vanishing of a restaurant owner. Through the investigation, Colter stumbled upon a child-trafficking network. In one of the suspect’s trailers, he chanced upon a wooden statue carved by his father, Ashton Shaw. This find led Colter to a man named Otto. Otto admitted to Colter that he was responsible for Ashton’s death. When Colter inquired about the motive, Otto disclosed that Colter’s mother, Mary Shaw, had sought his assistance on something, but the details and reasons behind it remain unclear.

In an interview, Justin Hartley discussed his desire for Colter’s character in CBS Mornings to use his skills to elude authorities as a fugitive, suggesting a plot twist where Colter lands a regular job that goes awry, leading him to be framed for murder. Despite the dangerous enemies he encounters during investigations, viewers are puzzled as to why none of them have ever attempted revenge.
Hartley added, “The concept resonates with me as if we were chasing a fugitive plotline.” He wasn’t sure how long this story could unfold, but it could stretch across multiple episodes. During his escape, Colter would be separated from his team, offering an excellent chance to reintroduce the beloved character, Russell Shaw. When questioned about Hartley’s fugitive idea, the showrunner Elwood Reid stated, “This isn’t a police, law, medical, or private investigator series. What makes this show exciting is its flexibility – taking it in diverse directions each week, exploring various settings.

After the bomb explosion at the end of season two, Reid clarified that while Mary requested Otto’s assistance from her husband, she didn’t explicitly ask him to kill Ashton. However, it’s clear that she was aware Russell wasn’t responsible. Mary allowed Colter to believe Russell was involved in their father’s demise, fully understanding it was Otto all along. Reid hinted that aside from welcoming Wendy Crewson back as Mary Shaw, we will also delve into the other family members’ perspectives, including his brother and sister, to learn more about what Reid has uncovered.

There’s still much to explore regarding Ashton’s death, yet it’s clear that it doesn’t seem linked to the secretive government work he was associated with. During an interview, Reid dismissed the notion of a government conspiracy, hinting that they’d delve into this aspect more in future episodes. He mentioned, “We’ll gradually untangle that for Ashton’s character, and I believe it will introduce some fascinating characters. I’m not sure if there’s an immediate resolution, and I hope in the third season… to unfold a narrative that sheds light on what his father might have been involved in.” Reid also hinted that Russell could be part of this storyline if they manage to get Jensen Ackles on board.
According to the showrunner’s confirmation, we can anticipate the return of character Randy in season three. Regarding Fiona Rene’s character, Reenie, the showrunner mentioned that at the start of the new season, we might find her pondering over her actions and perhaps creating safeguards for herself. As we move into season 3, we can expect to delve deeper into her world, with some intriguing developments in store, as suggested by the showrunner’s words: “There will be some enjoyable content coming from her character.” Reid further mentioned that Rene is eager to flesh out these characters and make Bobby, Velma, Reenie, and Randy more than just supporting figures for Colter.
